The Modify Filter plugin allows you to change records using rules and conditions.
As an example using JSON notation to,
- Rename
Key2
toRenamedKey
- Add a key
OtherKey
with valueValue3
ifOtherKey
does not yet exist
Example (input)
{
"Key1" : "Value1",
"Key2" : "Value2"
}
Example (output)
{
"Key1" : "Value1",
"RenamedKey" : "Value2",
"OtherKey" : "Value3"
}
The plugin supports the following rules:
Operation | Parameter 1 | Parameter 2 | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Set | STRING:KEY | STRING:VALUE | Add a key/value pair with key KEY and value VALUE . If KEY already exists, this field is overwritten |
Add | STRING:KEY | STRING:VALUE | Add a key/value pair with key KEY and value VALUE if KEY does not exist |
Remove | STRING:KEY | NONE | Remove a key/value pair with key KEY if it exists |
Remove_wildcard | WILDCARD:KEY | NONE | Remove all key/value pairs with key matching wildcard KEY |
Remove_regex | REGEXP:KEY | NONE | Remove all key/value pairs with key matching regexp KEY |
Rename | STRING:KEY | STRING:RENAMED_KEY | Rename a key/value pair with key KEY to RENAMED_KEY if KEY exists AND RENAMED_KEY does not exist |
Hard_rename | STRING:KEY | STRING:RENAMED_KEY | Rename a key/value pair with key KEY to RENAMED_KEY if KEY exists. If RENAMED_KEY already exists, this field is overwritten |
Copy | STRING:KEY | STRING:COPIED_KEY | Copy a key/value pair with key KEY to COPIED_KEY if KEY exists AND COPIED_KEY does not exist |
Hard_copy | STRING:KEY | STRING:COPIED_KEY | Copy a key/value pair with key KEY to COPIED_KEY if KEY exists. If COPIED_KEY already exists, this field is overwritten |
Move_to_start | WILDCARD:KEY | NONE | Move key/value pairs with keys matching KEY to the start of the message |
Move_to_end | WILDCARD:KEY | NONE | Move key/value pairs with keys matching KEY to the end of the message |
- Rules are case insensitive, parameters are not
- Any number of rules can be set in a filter instance.
- Rules are applied in the order they appear, with each rule operating on the result of the previous rule.
The plugin supports the following conditions:
Condition | Parameter | Parameter 2 | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Key_exists | STRING:KEY | NONE | Is true if KEY exists |
Key_does_not_exist | STRING:KEY | NONE | Is true if KEY does not exist |
A_key_matches | REGEXP:KEY | NONE | Is true if a key matches regex KEY |
No_key_matches | REGEXP:KEY | NONE | Is true if no key matches regex KEY |
Key_value_equals | STRING:KEY | STRING:VALUE | Is true if KEY exists and its value is VALUE |
Key_value_does_not_equal | STRING:KEY | STRING:VALUE | Is true if KEY exists and its value is not VALUE |
Key_value_matches | STRING:KEY | REGEXP:VALUE | Is true if key KEY exists and its value matches VALUE |
Key_value_does_not_match | STRING:KEY | REGEXP:VALUE | Is true if key KEY exists and its value does not match VALUE |
Matching_keys_have_matching_values | REGEXP:KEY | REGEXP:VALUE | Is true if all keys matching KEY have values that match VALUE |
Matching_keys_do_not_have_matching_values | REGEXP:KEY | REGEXP:VALUE | Is true if all keys matching KEY have values that do not match VALUE |
- Conditions are case insensitive, parameters are not
- Any number of conditions can be set.
- Conditions apply to the whole filter instance and all its rules. Not to individual rules.
- All conditions have to be
true
for the rules to be applied. - You can set Record Accessor as
STRING:KEY
for nested key.
In order to start filtering records, you can run the filter from the command line or through the configuration file. The following invokes the Memory Usage Input Plugin, which outputs the following (example),
[0] memory: [1488543156, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841388, "Mem.free"=>174656, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]
[1] memory: [1488543157, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841420, "Mem.free"=>174624, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]
[2] memory: [1488543158, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841420, "Mem.free"=>174624, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]
[3] memory: [1488543159, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841420, "Mem.free"=>174624, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]
Note: Using the command line mode requires quotes parse the wildcard properly. The use of a configuration file is recommended.

The output of both the command line and configuration invocations should be identical and result in the following output.
